Laptops > Less than 15" Laptops > From 800 GBP to 1200 GBP

Advantages: Very light, very fast, very good spec for the money
Disadvantages: Quite costly, heavy power adapter

This is my fourth consecutive Vaio, and it's fantastic value. There are cheaper products out there, but there aren't any that are as good value in my opinion - it is well made, works brilliantly well, is very well spec'd indeed and is put together with a lot of thought. The current offer of a t-mobile wireless broadband card included with the laptop is a superb addition, making this truly mobile as it weighs in at a lightweight 1.7kg. The only downsides ...

Advantages: Easy to use, lightweight and let's face it - darn cool
Disadvantages: No click pad, have to use button

Well, where do i start. I've had a variety of Macs and PCs over the last 10/15 years and i think i have now settled on Macs. There always used to be the problem of compatibility and now that no longer exists, then there was the problem of speed and that no longer exits, then the problem of availability of programs - well as you can guess that no longer exists. I'm writing this review on my mac now and i'm just so happy doing so. The only thing ...
...get over that quickly. Everyday i learn something new about this mac and what i can do with it, it's still amazing 6 months after i bought it. This isn't the computer to buy if you want to do graphic design or play high memory games, you'd need to get the macbook pro for that. If you want to use this as a general home computer for playing games and surfing the internet then, buy this now. Make sure you know what you want to use the computer for ... Read review

Advantages: fantastic features
Disadvantages: initial amount of ram

...means you’ll get Microsoft Works, Sony SonicStage, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Acrobat Standard, Sony SonicStage Mastering Studio, VAIO Edit Components, WinDVD for VAIO, Norton Internet Security (90 days subscription), Adobe Reader, VAIO Recovery Utility, Skype, Google Software Pack, Microsoft Office Ready 2007 (Trial) all included when you buy this laptop. This installed ram on this laptop is quite basic as it only has the average 1 gb ...
...is enough, although some, and probably most people, as I know I would defiantly want more ram in my laptop than this one has. However there is an upside, if this 1 gb isn’t enough for you, and it probably wont be then you can get it upgraded to a maximum of 2 gb of ram, this would dramatically increase the speed and performance of the laptop, well it should double the performance of the laptop so its something a lot of people should think ...

Advantages: Style, choice of finishes, weight, Dell brand
Disadvantages: Power socket on side,

...1525 to replace my current Dell desktop, an USFF Optiplex SX280. This is partly due to wanting to rid my life of clutter on a desk, and ultimately a desk, so this really will be used on my lap. As a result I have also specced it with the internal mobile broadband 3G/HDSPA card for Vodafone, so that I can access the internet, in theory, from anywhere. Since I am already a Vodafone customer I intend to add 3G use to the account and get rid of my BT ...
...I'm interested to see how well this will work in the real world. Initial impressions of the Inspiron are very good. I have chosen a gloss white finish on the lid, and it looks really smart. Nobody will actually be fooled into thinking it's an MacBook, but I like the simplicity of the colour and also the fact that, unlike the other colour choices available, it was free. Additionally there is no clip on the lid, just a hinge that snaps it shut, not ... Read review
